I loved the lack of hints; it held a great balance of presenting what to do and forcing you to rely on exploring it yourself to find out how to get what you need. I really love the nostalgia and immersive ambience.

A fishing game taken to a more sinister dimension , it was very refreshing and the asthetics of the game are great using an N64 style rendering.The horror element is very mild and can appeal to many audiences , it was more creepy than outright terror and was designed well.

One flaw in the game is that there is no clue that you need to pick something up before being able to fish for the items you need to progress through the gates, maybe there could of been a line where if you try to go for said item and skim over the top of the item Earl could say " I see something shiny down there but my float is not heavy enough....maybe i need to fish for something first to weigh the float down" but this is just a suggestion.

I really enjoyed this game. I loved the faith series of game too. The PS1 vibe was fun, and I was really starting to wonder why this game was in the horror section, until Earl started making remakes about the fish that were a little unsettling.

I enjoyed the combination of fishing and horror. I liked the retro vibe and ambient sounds throughout the game. I was trying to catch the key for like 30 minutes and realized later that I needed something else lol Anyways, I enjoyed it a lot. I translated into Japanese verbally. Hopefully, more Japanese speakers can appreciate the game.

Aside from the few little glitches that you've mentioned in the description this was an amazing game with a really cool and unique concept! I love the bleakness of the design as well, it was really effective.

So I liked what I saw and played, I loved the idea of a horror game involving going fishing. Definitely a new experience that I liked. Wish there was music though and a sound effect for the gates opening.

There were a few bugs/glitches I found, like the fish would unhook and get stuck on the surface for example. But since this a demo, I know it'll get buffed out later :)

A recommendation for the next update is to fix the hitboxes on the fish and maybe fix the AI a little bit or fix the range of where the fish would be able to detect the bait.

Either way though it was a fun game to play! Can't wait to try out the full game! :D

It was actually refreshing playing a horror game that wasn't simply walking down a dark hallway with a flashlight. This isn't a jump scare kind of horror game.. this is more of a "creepy story" kind of game. The fishing is actually fun and I love the old school graphics. Considering this was made quickly for a game jam, that is even more impressive. Keep up the good work! I have attached my game play video. It is the final game in the video. Starts at 22:08.

This was really good! The fishing aspect was more challenging than I expected, and the game gives off a happy vibe up until you see the creature for the first time. Great way to build a sense of fear! Here's my playthrough:
